While you talk thus I can, and in your business if honesty go yoked with danger: it cannot fright me then though it have more terror than Seamen feign at their return, or Cowards fears suggest, horrid even unto a lie. I dare face it, and wager a life i'll conquer it. Thy words go high as Thunder. Pardon my words if my actions prove as fatal. I believe thee, and dare promise thou wilt do wonders, let me embrace thee, thou art welcome to our friendship; mine eyes did look on thee unworthily before, methinks thart comely now, thy scars are so many graces, not set by an effeminate but by a manly and warlike Skill Business calls us hence, thou shalt not part one minute from me, thy wound needs help, Come, thou shalt heal before me. Have you commanded all the Mariners aboard each Captain to his charge; bid the Soldiers fill the decks with their full numbers, and display their colours. Let nothing wanting that may add to the glory of the Navy. Sir there is not, all things are in their pride and height, the Captains seem to lend brightness to the day, and like the Sun throws rays, and light about them; nor looks their gold less awful than the soldiers' Steel, on the Ships appear the joy and riches of a conquest, and yet keeps the strictness of a joining battle, there wants nothing to make a warlike like, princely and well commanded, Navy but your presence, Sr. I would not have them think us such poor men that we are driven to seek for their relief, to due for bread, and water, but rather that we come like Noble wooers, full of rewards and presents able to return all favours we receive, and equally to honour them which honour us. As great as they, It shall appear he that is master of such a Fleet, may Style himself King, though Lord of nothing else. The people flock upon the shore, and with one voice say you come to fetch their Princess, you have more than their consents already you have their wishes too. I marry Haimantus such a Jewel would Make the rest look dim, there are two Ladies in this I'll, if fame say true, the wonders of the World. When nature made 'em she summoned her whole Godhead, and unwearied wrought till she Had done, formed each limb as if she had begun there, She seemed to practise on the World till now, and what like beautiful she Framed before, were but degrees to this height, These the assent from which she now must fall They made her older than the labour of A thousand years. What's the matter? there's a great Train, it seems from Court coming to your grace. How nigh are they? They are on entering my Lord. we'll meet 'em.

While you talke thus I can, and in your busines if honesty goe yoakt with danger: it cannot fright me then though it have more terror then Seamen faigne at their returne, or Cowards feares suggest, horred even unto a ly. I dare face it, and wager a life i'le conquer it. Thy words goe high as Thunder. Pardon my words if my actions prove as fatall. I beleeve thee, and dare promise thou wilt doe wonders, let me imbrace thee, thou art welcome to our friendship; mine eyes did looke on thee unworthyly before, methinks thart comely now, thy scarrs are so many graces, not set by an effiminate but by a manly and warlike Skill Busines calls us hence, thou shalt not part one minute from me, thy wound needs helpe, Come, thou shalt heale before me. Have you commanded all the Marriners aboard each Captaine to his charge; bid the Souldiers fill the decks with their full numbers, and display their collours.
